Can money buy happiness? Yes. Can spending it make you happier? Of course. But only if you know how.

Most people don't. We chase things that impress others but leave us cold. Or we save endlessly, afraid to spend on what would actually make life better. We confuse admiration with envy, and comfort with excess. The Art of Spending Money is about getting that balance right. It’s not about budgets, hacks, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about understanding how your relationship with money shapes your decisions—and how to reshape it so money works for you.

Morgan Housel—whose work has helped millions rethink how they earn, save, and invest, now turns his attention to the other side of the equation: how to spend. With sharp insight and warm clarity, he shows why the most valuable return on investment is peace of mind, why expectations matter more than income, and why doing well with money has less to do with spreadsheets and more to do with self-awareness.

This book isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting the most out of what you already have—and learning to want what’s worth wanting.
